Mandy Lion.An artist with a band that defines Heavy Metal in a BIG way with monstrous grooves, catchy riff-laden songs, and a unique sonic signature completely unto itself. Singer, mastermind, and front man Mandy Lion has led this electrifying band through the years with his incredible voice and larger-than-life persona. The original lineup boasted Joe Floyd (Warrior) on guitar, Jimmy Bain (Rainbow, Dio) on bass, and Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath, Dio) on drums. Lion achieved an intense sound early on, setting WWIII vastly apart from other groups of the Heavy Metal genre in the process. Lion has fronted many other lineups with such legendary musicians such as George Lynch (Dokken, Lynchmob), Jake E. Lee (Ozzy Osbourne, Badlands, WWIII), James Kottack (Kingdome Come, Scorpions, WWIII), Mikkey Dee (King Diamond, Dokken, Motorhead, WWIII), Ray Luzier (Korn) and many others. Mandy Lion is the originator of the extreme power vocal. Just about everyone who is anyone these days is trying to duplicate what Lion created years ago but none have succeeded. Imagine Rob Zombie's intense growl combined with Ronnie James Dio's explosive talent and Rob Halford's infinite range. Lion's inhuman power and growl technique fused with an unmistakably mystifying delivery makes it impossible for any vocalist to recreate his unearthly style. On top of that, Lion's insightful lyrics paint the reality of the world we live in today with imagery and vision while presenting it with masterful conviction. Mandy Lion started a Metal vocal revolution which has ultimately spawned such popular bands as White Zombie, Korn, Disturbed, Pantera, Static X, as well as countless others... About the man himself... Leather-clad and lethal with his 2000 LB 700+HP custom Chevy V8 motorcycle ("the Phantom") and his 100 caliber custom revolver is none other than "The Beast" himself, Mandy Lion. The most dynamic and engaging front man music has ever known, Lion dominates any concert venue with his uniquely textured voice and ultra-powerful stage presence.
